clearly, when you look at the fiscal condition, the consequences of going over the fiscal cliff -- republicans are going to have to abrogate that pledge. it is not conservatism bound to 35% tax rate. that is not one of the and mutable principles of american conservatism. we want taxes to be as low as they can possibly be while running a government that is not bankrupt and in structural deficit for as far as the eye can see. you will have to see republican leaders step up here and meet the president's somewhere in the middle on this to get the country's fiscal path on a path to solvency so we can start to have economic growth again in the country. >> do you want to comment a little bit about what you expect from the next six weeks? not even six weeks? however many weeks it is now between -- between now and the start of this booklet. working in the white house limits what you can say, but how you see his plan at between now and january? >> steve is exactly right, all the you are seeing a very concerted members of the house dig in on a no revenues. it is good to see many republicans saying yes. i

everybody knows about the fiscal cliff. this is a new moment filled with brett but that threat is also an opportunity. if we cannot do it now, and they know what the changes need to be but they have something that is forcing them to do it. this is the best moment we have had. let us hope we do not go through a political battle with a fight it out. we are left frustrated because they cannot govern. and the headlines the next day says u.s. still faces huge fiscal problems. but we really want them to do is put in place a plan big enough to fix the problem. double be but will have the outside of the certainty -- that will be what will have the outside -- upside of the certainty. the whole world is watching. the world is routine for us. people want the united states to climb out of this whole and fix this problem. the clock is ticking. thank you.
